[Intro]
C  F

[Verse 1]
C                 F
Everybody looks so happy
C                            F
No one here has to pay their rent,
well it's not like I do
C
There's not a problem here
     F
that can't be solved
     G
With liquor, stickers,
    F           C
and strawberry moons

[Verse 2]
C                            F
I think I've seen this movie before
C                         F
I'm gonna be the one who tries
to push the pulling door
C                       F
Well maybe real live is better
     G
Than movies, nightmares,
F            C
deflated balloons

[Chorus]
F               C
I thought I was ten feet tall
G              Am
Thought I was above it all
F               C
But I was just standing
         G
on your shoulders

[Verse 3]
C                      F
I used to be afraid of dying
C                       F
Now I'm afraid of going home and
turning on thе tv
C
I wanna live in a shoebox
        F
house undеr your bed
          G
With your liquor, stickers,
    F           C
and strawberry moons

[Chorus]
F                C
I thought I was ten feet tall
G              Am
Thought I was above it all
F              C
But I was just standing
        G
on your shoulders
F            C
Just blowing smoke
G            Am
Out of your window
F                 C
You made me from sand and
         G
now your tide is coming in

It's getting late, it's getting early
C                            F
It's funny how the stars are always
there
C                             F
You said "I think you need to go
to bed
C                                  F
'Cause it's too late to make a wish"
